    Party can't hear me

    There are 2 standards for 3.5 mm headphone jacks, called OMTP and CTIA. On both standards, the microphone and ground connectors are reversed. So if you use an OMTP compliant headset on the Xbox, the microphone is "talking" to the ground connector of the
    controller, while the console is "listening" for the microphone on a silent ground pin.

    Please try the following: Open up the messaging tab on your console, and compose a message, but instead of typing text, press the Microphone icon, and try to record a message.

    If you are able to pre-listen to your message before sending it, you being unable to talk in a party is a network issue.

    If the console doesn't record your voice message at all, and all you hear is silence, then your 3.5 mm headset is probably incompatible.

    You can try to buy a CTIA to OMTP adapter (or vice versa, as these adapters just reverse both connectors, they work both ways). That adapter can be found online or in any cellphone stores. Since the only purpose is to reverse two connectors, these cables
    are dirt cheap, and if a store wants more than the price of a coffee-to-go for that cable, you're being ripped off.

    Can't hear party.

    If there is an X beside their gamertag then the issue will lie on their end. They can either try backing out to dashboard while the app is snapped then press the Start button and choose Quit or power cycle their own console to fix the problem.

    Alternately they could try starting a party and have you join them.

    Can't hear friends in Party Chat

    Hey there!

    Perhaps check out the volume settings?

    Press Xbox button > Speaker on bottom right, and then play with the volume settings,

    I believe its the same when you go to the party, audio options.

    Let me know if this helps?
    Also if your headphones have a volume feature, sure to see if that's all the way up,

    also if you have the "In game - party" feature on the headset, sure to hit the in between so you can hear both. (My razor has that feature and it's easy to forget lol)

    Take care and let me know if this works.
